The immediate cause of the war involved the rights of Christian minorities in Palestine which was part of the Ottoman Empire.

Penguin Books / New Left Review. Paperback. Fair. The most important of Marx's political writings in this 400-page collection are "The Civil War in France" and the "Critique of the Gotha Programme." It also includes important documents of the International Working Men's Association -- the First International -- and Marx's polemics against Proudhon and Bakunin. All the texts written in German and French were newly translated by David Fernbach. He provides a cogent critical analysis of Marx's thought and activism across the period. Marx resumed political activism in 1864 and became a leader of the IWMA. Modern industry and the industrial working class had grown since 1848 as had trade unions. The issue of reformism was critical and Marx's view was not simplistic. Previous owner's signature on back of front cover. Fading and sunning to cover spine and text.
